3 Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

5 For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.6A To thee only have I sinned,

6BCD [I] have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.

10 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.11 Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
